Which apparently was written by someone else who then snapped the photo.

You know that as a fact, or are you providing alternative facts based on what? I have not seen the sign in person, but been told by people that it was indeed there.

    The source on that someone faked that door sign? Because I do not see that in there. edit: and the downvotes while still providing no source for alternative facts, just strenghten my image of the FSF and its followers as a quasireligious cult. And nothing I want to connect with, despite myself living and loving open source.

        Ok. My bad then. If this is true, it changes maybe some things. And I lack the sources, but I recall people saying that the sign was there for quite a while, even if he did not wrote that by himself. And I actually would like a quote from him, to confirm that he did not write it. All that is in that source is someone saying it was not put up by him. If it was really put up by someone else, it would be the question if it was a joke. Making fun of RMS well known attitude - and he left it as in agreeing, at least for a while - or if it was ammo for a smear campaign. Then it would make sense to investigate that and put it right. But I actually suspect the former.

        Why not email and ask him? Just make sure that you are polite. He replies to pretty much everyone.

  Who even cares? Are we throwing all genius autistics out of academia for their social missteps? Maybe we should just replace all the academics with people who are better at staying on narrative and within the bounds of political correctness, no matter if they're any good Remember meritocracy is white supremacy [0] postmeritocracy.org[0]
